More materials will be added over this year and will be posted to the NEKLS website as they are purchased and become available. If you have a NExpress library card, go ahead and place a hold on any item and we’ll send it to your home library. If you don’t have a NExpress library card, contact your local public library if it’s a NExpress member library or contact the NEKLS office to find out how to get one.

If you have any professional collection recommendations, please contact Heather Braum with them.
